File Adpater

I'm a beginner in BPEL so excuse the little knowledge I have.
I am trying to write to a file using a file adapter. I want to use the BPEL process to take messages and update the file using the adapter.
I am configurig the file Adapter.
I have located where the messages are to be wriiten to and placed a word document there.
Now it is asking about the schema location I am not sure what I am trying to do here?
Can someone also validate what I am doing is correct?

File adapter - write
overthere is explained how to append the messages to file ..instead of recreating them.

File Adpater: Size of your processed messages

Hi,
i opened yesterday a thread aboud performance of file adapter, but i didn't get a satisfieing answer. So please give me following information:
What was the biggest size of message which was processed by your file adapter?
Every answer is welcome, even if the size seems to be small.
Regards,
Udo

Udo,
With content conversion , we have processed a file of size 64MB as one single message, it takes about 6 to 10 mins for our entire processing to complete(to go thru as an idoc to sap in our case).
well, it will get worse , if you have a ccBPM in between.we had it initially(for validating & controlling the flow) and it took close to 2 hrs to go thru. It was not guaranteed as well, J2EE will autorestart(heap dump!!) and the processing will terminate at times. we had followed up with sap, tried tuning heap size & using large queues, but did not resolve the issue , removed ccBPM and it is ok now.
so Udo , just the file adapter processing a LARGE message will not resolve ur issue, rather i beleive it may add to ur headache, once file adpater delivers the message to the IS.
Wherever possible we had limited the message size using recordsets per message, when there was no choice, we had to take it in as one single message. strictly my personal experience here , i may be wrong, if so feel free to point it out, ll learn.

How To Control The Archive File Name using file adpater or OSB file traspor

Hi all,
My requirement is I want to archive a file by appending my BPEL instant id to the file name.
Is this possible changing the file name when archive the file???
Thanks
Phani

I couldn't find that out when I had the same requirement. I was running out of time, so I let Archive functionality works as it works and used the write file option with opaque schema.

Dynamic file name using reciver file adpater if no Mapping involved

Hi XI/PI experts,
I am working on one scenerion where I have to poll the files from one server and send them to target FTP server with no content conversion( no Mapping involved).
for example:
if the source file is ABC_Invoice_item.csv
then the target file is expected as invoice_YYYYMMDD.csv
Please advise how we can acchive this?
Many Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.
Cheers,
Mohan

Hi,
You can refer the following link for selecting additional files using a single comm channel :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/44/692ab8a4b633eae10000000a1553f6/content.htm
You can also use a Java mapping instead of adapter module to store the filename dynamically in the message header. In this case, use a data type that has just one field under it. Use the same data type for both sender and receiver.
In your Java mapping, use the code for dynamic configuration to retrieve the sender filename, alter it and then store it in the message header again for use by the receiver adapter.
No changes will be required in the sender comm channel. There will not be any conversion to xml format and the data will pass through as is.
Regards

File Adpater: Variable Substitution

Hi experts,
I have a few questions regarding the variable substitution in the File-Adapter. I want to have it for my filename.
For the variable substitution I can only take elements from the target structure, is that right? I know that I can take attributes from the header information like the interface_name etc. <b>But can I take attributes from the target structure?</b> Is it possible?
With best regards
Christopher

Hello,
I don't have any link for this.
But " Unauthorized : 401 " error occurs only when the users are locked or roles are incorrect.
I have faced this kind of error .
Can you please try below suggestions:
1. Check in Trace, is there any specific service user mentioned (Check for PIAFUSER).
2. If you cannot find any specific user in Trace than please check all the service users maintained in SU01 T-code in the system.
Probabely you can narrow your search by finding users with name as PI*.
The service users should not be locked.

Guys
I have the folowing question
I have gone through the FCC blogs but i have this situation :
Record Structure of my file is : Header1,1,Header2,1, Items,*
Header 1 and Header2 are Fixed length but Line Items are variable length
Is it possible to use Header1.fieldFixedLengths and Header2.fieldFixedLengths to pick up the headers and keyfield to pick up the Line Items ??
I intend to use fixed lengths for the Headers and fieldSeperator for the Line Items , in the same file , Is it Possible?
The reason is that the Header2 doesnt have a KeyField and one of the fields in the header2 needs to be passed.
Please help me out in picking up the file, I am unable to deal with the Header2
Thanks

Sender File adpater to Pick Two files at a time based on the file name

Hi Everyone,
I have a scenario where I need to pick two files at a time using file adapter where the two files names have a common string in between their names.For example , the file names can be sets like
H123.txt and L123.txt
H345.txt and L345.txt.
Now how do we handle this in the File Adapter ?

Anu,
Two approaches.
1. Use BPM: use a collect pattern to pick those files: L and H files , use multi mapping to merge those files and map to IDoc. Constraint is that there must be a mandatory correlation field in both the files. Say a same po id in L and H file.
2. Use an Adapter module with additional files option in file Adapter. Operate on the Main payload and attachment inside your module code to get a combined contents of both files and proceed.
Module is preferable in terms of performance, but maintenance is difficult. Deployment after each changes, transport issues, etc.
BPM is resource intensive, but easy to maintain, transport.
Choose based on your requirement.

Sudharshan N A

File name generation in file adpater

Hi PI Experts
I am using File adapter at reciever end. My requirement is to generate file name as "x_mmddyyyy_y.csv". Means, I need to include current system date in between x and y. Please suggest how can get this. will variable substitution helps?
Regards
Siva

hi ,
"x_mmddyyyy_y.csv". Means, I need to include current system date in between x and y
that is very simple by using "Dynamic Configuration" .
1.Constant(X_) + 2.currentDate(Date)+3.concat 4.Concat5.Constant(_Y)6.Conact7.constant(.csv)+dyn.conf(UDF) -> target rootnode
udf:
String DynamicConfig(String a, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";

File Adpater Question

When does the Fileadpater Archive the file? After it is read or Processed.
Does it leave back the file where it was if the process fails?

Owch, im no expert, but thats a tricky one.
You could try to use a regex with a directory name in the filename field in the FileAdapter wizard, but i havent tried that - just an idea.
I imagine you'll have to update the bpel process and deploy it automatically every time the directory changes. Which IS possible.
If everything fails misrebly, write something else which polls those dynamic directories somehow and move the files to the folder which the BPEL process is monitoring.
Good luck!

Help Needed on File Adpater & DB Adapter

Hi,
I use FileAdapter for Reading,Parsing ,Transforming & Routing the content to DB Adapter.
Basically I read a flat file and specify the xml message format(using last step in FileAdapter wizard) .Then I Use DB adapter for inserting this XML into a table (using Routing Service).
All of these are working fine.My Problem is the Insert rate . I am getting only 18 inserts per second. I am not sure whether the FileAdapter is the reason for this or DB Adapter insertion rate is not good enough.It would be great if any one of you could give some information on Insertion rates (of DB Adapter).
Thanks
